Overview
- On Wednesday, the first group of witnesses and the accused gave sworn statements in a criminal inquiry that lists 15 people under investigation over Les Naus, the cooperative-built VPP (subsidized) development in Alicante.
- Former urbanism councillor Rocío Gómez told the judge she does not recall meetings with the promoter and said she learned of the promotion from her husband, denying other contacts and knowledge about some occupants.
- Fraorgi promoter Francisco Ordiñana admitted he used waiting lists from earlier projects to fill Les Naus units, said he phoned a municipal architect to report a vacancy, and testified that he sought compensation from the mayor over the land price.
- Conselleria technician Roberto Palencia acknowledged informing his wife about the VPPs and defended his role as a routine validator of 140 files, a position that produced his earlier suspension and later administrative review.
- Court witnesses confirmed the cooperative filed its bid the day after the sale documents were published and said names present in draft reports were omitted from final files, a procedural gap that has driven political accusations and further administrative probes.
